dlc (spoilers)
can someone please nudge me in the right direction? im playing the dlc, and ive discovered three blue campfires with not a clue what to do. i know they have bells that ring, except for the underwater one i found, and they all appear to be holding that artifact thing i found by that ghost mattery house. cannot figure out what to do. tried killing myself with the fire, tried waiting until the loop ended, tried eating roasted marshmallows. i know theres some sort of dream world because im stupid and spoiled it for myself by reading to much and im sure that this campfire is the way there, but im missing something.

anyways thanks for any replies i appreciate you! < 3

You didn't mention it, but the raft work with lights, not just looking, so maybe that's that: switch on your light (the first time you use the raft is usually with the light ON because you open the door with light as well).

For the campfires, maybe you're not supposed to know what to do just yet, I suggest you keep exploring before spoiling yourself too much because the solution can be found outside the dream world.
Now a little spoil:
You mention dying on the fire this may have done something you need an item for the something to work big spoiler: if you hold the artefact and die on the fire, this should have brought you to the dream world with a disadvantage as dying in the dream world would kill you and end the loop
You mention the dream world how to you dream ? answer and big spoiler solution: you doze off near the fire, for a sec in the same condition as the skeletons: with an artefact in your hands

oh yeah with the rafts though i know they're light activated and its mostly just the first raft at the entrance im having trouble with. the one a little further down works after struggling with it for a minute

If you keep exploring, you should find something that gives you a little more of a nudge on what to do with the "campfires". The general area to be exploring for that info: Cinder Isles.

If you don't know the answer to something, explore until you find clues to what the answer is, rather than coming to this forum so someone can provide massive spoilers as an "answer".

The part about 'dying' was so hard I had to look up a guide. This is probably the only game where Dying = Progression. :D
