In order to get back to where you started, you have to go around twice!

I'm coming from GR here. There is a isomorphism between the space of real [1,1]-index spinors and the tangent space of 4d space-time. (By (1,1) I mean 1 index from a spin-vector space and one from it's complex conjugate). 1/~

yea! we're saying the same thing! What you're calling a [1,1] spinor is actually just the (1/2, 1/2) representation of the Poincare group!
