come to oneself

English

(intransitive, idiomatic) to gain consciousness or self-control
- 1898, J. Meade Falkner, Moonfleet Chapter 5
  When I came to myself I was lying, not in the outer blackness of the Mohune vault, not on a floor of sand; but in a bed of sweet clean linen, and in a little whitewashed room, through the window of which the spring sunlight streamed.
