I've heard people say he died in episode 5 and the rest was a dream.

But then there's a whole episode that was just a dream when that fridge monster almost took out the whole crew.

So...is the entire crew dead? Are they all in purgatory until they accept their fate and leave the ship to go on to the afterlife?

You could make that case, yes. Look at it this way, they all had conflicts with their past that need to be resolved. The show makes it seem like it is bc they had traumatic pasts. But I believe at least with spikes case he was really dead. The clues are there. It gets even deeper than that to be honest

Got this from its wiki site.

One of the recurring themes surrounding Spike's character is how he views himself and his life. He claims that one eye - his right one, the prosthetic - can only see the present, and the other - the left, his real eye - can only see the past. This is revisited by a close-up on Spike's left eye every time he has a flashback of his life before coming aboard the Bebop. He seems to regard his false death as real in some way, saying that after that day, he had "merely been living a dream". (During Session 25 when Spike has a flashback of the last time he saw Julia, the close-up shows both Spike's eyes, perhaps implying that his future and past are now the same.)
Spike's attitude of living in a "dream-like" existence is displayed by his careless behavior and his nonchalant attitude towards dangerous or outright fatal situations. One quote that exemplifies this is in Session 1, when Katerina Solensan tells Spike that she is not sure if he is joking or not, to which he responds that he "gets that a lot".
