Yep. It's: %emacs

Like in:

emacs -nw
^Z
ls
cd
%emacs


Otherwise, look what  you're asking: you have a  running emacs (where?
in a xterm? in a X window? on the console?). And then you want to have
it displays on your terminal!

Well, AFAIK, it's not possible if the emacs run on X window.

If  you have  emacs  running on  a terminal,  then  if you  ran it  on
screen(1) it  is possible to take  over a screen  session from another
terminal.  But it's more like %emacs than like emacsclient.
