It ' s when someone isn ' t entirely circumcised , but not entirely uncut either . <| sep |> If you accept the multiple time period theory , then almost any time Dolores is not in Sweetwater and is shown wandering the landscape alone , she is probably off of her track . There is a scene in episode 7 or 8 where she is at the lake , sees herself dead in the water , looks behind her to see herself alone on the shore , and then she looks behind her again and sees William is there . I interpret this to be several instances of Dolores arriving at the water combined into one scene . At least one time she came to the water and was killed when she sees her dead body , at least one time she came to the water all alone she wandered off her track to the shore alone , and another time she came with William there when she looks back and sees William . Moments like this confuse Dolores and it ' s why she screams out that she can ' t tell where or when she is .
