Second Follow Up?
I applied for a dream job online two weeks ago, the next business day after applying I received an email letting me know they had receieved my resume and cover letter and were reviewing applications and would be in contact if they felt I was a fit. I am pretty sure this was a cut/paste email they send anyone. It was signed off with the full name of someone in HR but was still from the generic careers@companyemail.com. I replied to the email to this womans name and thanked them for letting me know they had received my resume and to let me know if they need any supplementary information. This was two weeks ago, is it too much to send another email?

Re: Second Follow Up?
I might be in the minority here, but I probably wouldn't. They said they would contact you if you were a good fit for the job and if they needed anything else. They also obviously have your contact information.
I wish all the jobs I applied to gave me an email basically confirming that they received my resume.
I would not follow up directly with the HR person again, but I would exercise every other avenue you can in the meantime. Look on LinkedIn - do you have any 2nd or 3rd contacts who work at the company? If so, reach out to them through your connections, ask if they would be willing to forward your resume and cover letter directly to the hiring manager.
Also, can you find the email address of the hiring manager or their name specifically? If so, send your materials directly to that person with an engaging, but professional email telling them you are incredibly interested in the position and wanted to ensure you reached out to them directly with your application.
Go all out on networking, but definitely don't hound the HR person. Those "thanks for applying" emails are generally sent out by non-decision makers, anyway.
Good luck!
