Can I say:

You [i]are reminding[/i] me of your mother, that's to say, can we use [i]remind [/i]in progressive form?

  Thanks..

You can get away with using the progressive form in some contexts, but it would not be usual in the one you quote.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Hello, Foreigner:

I agree that CONTEXT is the key.

Mona: Don’t wear your shoes in the house. They get the floor dirty.

James: Yes, dear.

Mona: Don’t eat so fast. You set a bad example for our children.

James: Yes, sweetheart.

Mona: Don’t leave the lights on if you leave a room.

James: Yes, darling.

Mona: Don’t …

James: I’m sorry to say this, Mona, but you are reminding me of your mother more and more every day.

Sometimes we can use the progressive for so-called stative verbs if it gives the idea of “more and more with each passing day.”

You may have heard of that famous hamburger restaurant company called McDonald’s.

Its slogan is: I’m lovin’ [loving] it.
