Hi everyone,

Does this mean to chew over/mull over our memories?

Thanks!

English translation:Dwell on our memories
Explanation:
This needs more context, but if these memories weren't particularly pleasent or were causing sadness, then I think "dwelling on our memories" would give the intended meaning.
To dwell on: think, speak, or write at length about a particular subject, especially one that is a source of unhappiness, anxiety, or dissatisfaction.
"I've got better things to do than dwell on the past."
If the speaker, however, thinks of these memories with fondness or they were bringing joy, then, in my opinion, "reminisce" would be better, as Mr.Abdessamad answered.
I hope this helps.
