After awakening from her nightmare, Melanie calls her psychiatrist "Dr. Wilcox" who is named after Lisa Wilcox who plays the role of "Alice" in "A Nightmare on Elm Street parts 4 & 5".
On Melanie's nightstand there are special edition Coke cans labeled "Share with a FRIEND", but the letters I and N have been blocked out, making it say "Share with FRED" as in Freddy Krueger.
