Is Maya , always associated with feminime aspect ?
Without having seen the Youtube videos posted by Devoteeji let me offer my thoughts on this.
If I understand correctly, Maya of Advaita is similar to Prakriti of Samkhya. According to Samkhya, cosmogony proceeds when unliberated Purushas [masculine aspect] *pierce* Prakriti [feminine aspect] to set forth another round of creation.
This allegory may be the reason behind why Maya is considered "feminine".
I could be wrong.

Is Maya the ultimate concept of dream ?
The actual, permanent presence of "I" being without body (limited by the 5 senses), which actually translates to the infinity, temporary fixation of the "I" in a body is like a dream wrt the permanence.
The world being out of our 5 senses is limited by them again (had we less or more senses the understanding would have been different).
So this world of Maya, out of our senses - how real is it ?
Love and best wishes
