Rebecca Ruter Springer (1832-1904) was an American author. She began to publish verses shortly after finishing school, and thereafter contributed to leading periodicals. Among her works is the book "Intra Muros", better known today as "My Dream of Heaven". As the modern name implies, Springer claimed to have a vision of a heaven, and she recounts this vision in her book as well as some personal insights.
