In games, you keep all your knowledge about things that happen after that point. Is this true in the case too?

You start with the knowledge, but it starts fading, and completely fades away after a week or three. It's up to you to store it somewhere and make use of it. After a month you wouldn't even remember you reloaded. Now give me your answer in exactly 100 words.

Again, essentially the same question, does the person know about this fading? So much hinges on this question. The answer would be completely different.

You'd know for the first few hours, then as the fading progresses, you'll start convincing yourself that was some dream you had last night. Little by little you'll forget everything about the dream over the next weeks.

Nothing would change then. I do not change my life based on a dream.

I don't know about that. Sometimes dreams can be life-changing.
