Is what is perceived by us of the universe 'maya' so that we live in a dream/illusion?

Brahman alone is real. Nothing exists except Brahman. Which is why all perceived duality cannot be real (including time and space).
The belief that duality is real, is the illusion and this apparent duality is Maya according to Advaita. Obviously, other Vedanta traditions offer very different definitions for Maya.
