Funnily enough, I was in a shop in Vancouver today that specialised in First Nations art. One of the pieces on sale was a giant black mask of an old woman with wild hair who was supposed to live in the woods. See coghlanart.com/tsonokwa.htm. Her modus operandi is to stagger around the forest looking for children to eat.
The other thing is that she is also called 'hu hu' or 'uh uh', which is supposed to be the noise she makes. Which if you stand on one leg and half close your eyes, sounds a bit like 'yoob yoob'.

Kind of reminds me of Baba YagaStrange old hag woman who ate childeren from Russian folkelore. Sounds very similar to the dream. Also, according to this article the name may come from a corruption of slavic baby talk - which made me think of the name yoob yoob....
