The Blessed Sleep is basically the state of being truly dead and at rest as opposed to being a zombie or geist. More comprehensive info about geists and the afterlife on Innistrad can be found in the Planeswalker's Guide:

Ravnica has Agyrem, and dead people on Kamigawa probably go to the kakuriyo, the realm of the kami, though I think that hasn't really been outright stated so far. We know the zubera are mortals that have been sucked into the spirit realm, but I don't know if that refers to dead or living people. It's also possible for great and important people on Kamigawa to become kami after death, pretty much as it is in actual Shinto beliefs. Mirrodin had a weird reincarnation cycle going on when Memnarch's soultraps were still intact, but that's gone now.
