vivid memory
Sharp mental picture
A vivid memory is one recalled with unusual clarity and detail—colors, sounds, emotions preserved as if the experience just happened.
The phrase often describes memories tied to intense moments: trauma, joy, first encounters.
I have a vivid memory of the day we met.
Not all vivid memories are accurate; the brain can construct false details with equal sharpness.
