fuzzy memory
Vague mental image
A fuzzy memory is one that's indistinct or incomplete—you remember something happened but the details are hazy: I have a fuzzy memory of meeting him at a party years ago.
The fuzziness suggests soft edges rather than total absence, like trying to see through frosted glass.
Often used to acknowledge uncertainty: My memory of that night is pretty fuzzy.
