Here is what I read:

Neptune loves the twelfth house, its natural ruler. With Neptune here, you are capable of being aware of life on all its levels both visible and invisible, which can be confusing for you as you may see one thing yet feel another. You can become overwhelmed with your inner world as it sorts the vast river of feelings that flood it. You may have a tendency to dwell in memories to the point of replacing the present. You have deep fantasies and are prone to daydreaming and ‘drifting’. In the positive, this could be directed into psychic abilities and subconscious impressions that can be used to navigate the present. You have the gift of knowing trends and tapping into the collective. You may have a natural trust of the divine energies around you and an understanding of how to use them in times of pain. You would do well in any field where compassion is required and must learn to release the idea that ‘Suffering is my salvation.’ This placement can indicate that drugs were used while you were in the womb. You share this placement with Richard Bach, Warren Beatty, Leonard Cohen, Joan Cusack, Salvador Dali, Sally Field, Linda Goodman, Prince, Donald Sutherland, Betty White and Rod Stewart.

I also read :

Neptune in the 12th House gives a person access to limitless grace in the form of ability to access understanding, which is possible, only when the partial view has been transcended. This placement may also confer considerable psychic ability, particularly in the form of clairvoyance.

As with Uranus in H12, however, a person needs to know he has this potential and put himself in a position where it can be developed, or he may have no conception of what is available to him.

People with Neptune in H12 are frequently born to parents who pride themselves on their practical sense and realism. The child is usually brought up to ‘look after number one’. From this bleak and unappealing world, the child with Neptune in H12 tends to retreat into a private realm of fantasy. The aspects made by Neptune to the inner planets will determine the extent to which the fantasies can be translated into a form which others can share or whether they remain locked away in a person’s mind. Regardless of whether a person with Neptune in H12 is able to channel its influence into artistic or literary form, he will in his daily life, be capable of acts of the most extra-ordinary selflessness. They may be sporadic and he may be dis­inclined to divulge his own motives but such acts are usually prompted by compassion for a person or animal in distress. The cost to himself whether reckoned in time, effort or cash, is often considerable. Secretiveness, bordering on the obsessive, is common with Neptune in its own House and there may be a tendency to hide behind images and aliases.

I actually agree with both parents being of practical sense, and I'm the one with my head in the clouds. My sense of surrealism upsets my more practical parents.

I think they get it from a sense of 'balancing' out the energies. For instance, if parents are too focused on the physical world, a balance is needed so they don't go to extreme.

Also, I read that usually Neptune in the 12th is a painful position - the child is likely to be misunderstood and hurt alot that's why they retreat into an inner fantasy world, where everything is and can be beautiful, to the 12th house Neptune's liking.
So, there would be a trigger - something that sets off this withdrawal.. they probably gather it from being misunderstood, and the earliest relationships in a child's life would be with that of his or her parents.
If both parents are dreamy, the child would have to compensate by being realistic, and it's not illustrated by this aspect.

"This is what kills me, how can they "know" how my parents were with me, everytime I see something that refers to the relation of me and how my parents were it makes me loose interest since I don't see any sense on it! "
