%X bohmian mechanics is commonly characterized as just another interpretation of quantum mechanics. in this paper i defend an alternative view, according to which bohmian mechanics is better understood as a theory that can be interpreted in many ways. after characterizing the interpretive divide between the quantum potential approach and the guidance approach to bohmian mechanics, i show that different interpretations of the theory correspond to radically different and often incompatible ontologies or bohmian worlds. more concretely, i discuss the possibility of an interpretation of bohmian mechanics that is fully compatible with a purely three-dimensional ontology and i explore the main interpretive possibilities with respect to the properties of the bohmian particles. finally, by contrasting the different bohmian worlds discussed, i show that the choice of interpretation within bohmian mechanics is as relevant as it is within quantum mechanics.
