Discover bank sued me in May and they garnished, but i got realease of ganeshee and dismissal from the court. But the same crediter garnished my bank account again in a different bank.
Can they do it after the initial garnishment was dissmissed

I don't know what was garnished or why the first garnishment was dismissed. Yes, they can generally garnish or seize assets until the judgment is paid in full or the judgment is revived (after 7 years).
For the short term, I suggest that you not have any bank accounts at regular banks . Go to an online bank, go on a cash only system or go to a very small community bank located 25-50 miles from your home.
For the long term, If Discover obtained a judgment, then you need to think about resolving the debt in some way rather than face continuing garnishments/levies.
Asking the same question over and over here does not change the answer. They will keep doing garnishments of your pay and bank accounts until they are paid in full.
The main way to stop them is called hiring a lawyer and usually then filing bankruptcy.
