Rogue Subclass for 5e
In a fight the Dream-Thief steals tempo. Afterward it goes back to stealing memories out of people's heads.
At 13th level the trade opens all the way up. Whole dreams come out of a sleeper as glass beads, to look at, plant in somebody else, or keep. Keeping them is where it gets interesting, because sooner or later the sleeping world notices who's been doing the keeping.
The same level teaches the way out, a step through a side door in the dream that no one sees.
