After physical death, the spirit (yin) leaves the body (yang), and you lose most, if not all, of your volition. In this state, you are more or less fuel for other things to use; your memories and sense of self will be scattered and smeared into other things that form from your constituent yin. Pieces of you may be reborn into new beings, pieces of you might turn into radio static. By pursuing The Way (a vague name given to various monastic practices), you join extra yang to your yin soul, allowing you to 'cheat death' in a sense, letting you keep your volition through death. A spirit with volition is still alive by technicality, and a living thing is much harder, or even nigh impossible for something dead to destroy.
As for what it's like on the other side, you'll barely find a difference from dreaming, as dreaming IS the death state, simply with the safety net of a body to anchor to. If you've ever been on your death bed and remember the experience, you'll understand exactly what I mean by this.
