The crazy guy who approaches Dawn in 5.02 Real Me tells her :
“You don’t belong here.”
We learn later in the season that crazy people can see Dawn for what she really is - a mystical ball of energy called the Key. The guy also says “curds and whey” which is a reference to the dream Buffy had in season three’s 3.22 Graduation Day (Part Two). In that dream, Faith foreshadows Dawn’s arrival and calls her Little Miss Muffet. We also see a cat on the bed in the dream. In this episode, the crazy guy says to Buffy:
“That’s why I’m a cat. Quiet. See, cat’s in the cupboard.”
This may be another small bit of continuity from Buffy’s dream two seasons ago.

Also, in the episode Tough Love Tara says to Willow: “I called the cats…”. This could be a further reference to that cat on the bed, and the crazy guy from Real Me.
