depending on what you mean...
others has mentioned desktop mode...
if you want to open a bunch of marked files in dired, put
(require 'dired-x)
in your .emacs then you can
Alt+x dired-x and dired-do-find-marked-files.
If you have a list of paths, you can create this text
(find-file "path1")
(find-file "path2")
...
then select them then Alt+x eval-region.
