hazy memory

Dim mental trace

A hazy memory is one that's unclear or incomplete—you recall something happened but the details are fuzzy or fragmentary: I have a hazy memory of meeting him at a party years ago.

The haziness suggests fog or mist obscuring what you're trying to see clearly in your mind.
