Well, remembering some nose thing, I queried:
psychological nasal passage nose orifice freud

The second biggest file I got was part of GR itself:

_Freud-Fliess letters_
 (Spring, 1893) Freud is advising Fliess about a draft of the
 latter's paper on "The Nasal Reflex Neuroses."

 1 Fliess believed that he had discovered a 'nasal reflex
 neurosis' associated with a wide variety of somatic
 symptoms, including pains in various parts of the body and
 disturbances in the functioning of the sexual organs, such
 as dysmenorrhoea (painful menstruation). He related the
 latter symptoms to a 'genital spot' within the nose, and
 claimed to remove them temporarily by the application of
 cocaine.

_Extracts from Freud's Interpretation of Dreams_
 What I see in the throat: a white spot and scabby turbinal
 bones. The white spot recalls diphtheria, and thus Irma's
 friend, but it also recalls the grave illness of my eldest
 daughter two years earlier, and all the anxiety of that
 unhappy time. The scab on the turbinal bones reminds me of
 my anxiety concerning my own health. At that time I
 frequently used cocaine in order to suppress distressing
 swellings in the nose, and I had heard a few days previously
 that a lady patient who did likewise had contracted an
 extensive necrosis of the nasal mucous membrane. In 1885 it
 was I who had recommended the use of cocaine, and I had been
 gravely reproached in consequence. A dear friend, who had
 died before the date of this dream, had hastened his end by
 the misuse of this remedy.

 I surmise why it is that the formula of trimethylamin is so
 insistent in the dream. So many important things are
 centered about this one word: trimethylamin is an allusion,
 not merely to the all-important factor of sexuality, but
 also to a friend whose sympathy I remember with satisfaction
 whenever I feel isolated in my opinions. And this friend,
 who plays such a large part in my life: will he not appear
 yet again in the
 concatenation </a> of ideas peculiar to this dream? Of
 course; he has a special knowledge of the results of
 affections of the nose and the sinuses, and has revealed to
 science several highly remarkable relations between the
 turbinal bones and the female sexual organs. (The three
 curly formations in Irma's throat.) I got him to examine
 Irma, in order to determine whether her gastric pains were
 of nasal origin. But he himself suffers from suppurative
 rhinitis, which gives me concern, and to this perhaps there
 is an allusion in pyaemia, which hovers before me in the
 metastasis of the dream.

A play.

Well, I am relieved that I remembered nothing important.
