  It is generally argued that if the wave-function in the de Broglie--Bohm
theory is a physical field, it must be a field in configuration space.
Nevertheless, it is possible to interpret the wave-function as a multi-field in
three-dimensional space. This approach hasn't received the attention yet it
really deserves. The aim of this paper is threefold: first, we show that the
wave-function is naturally and straightforwardly construed as a multi-field;
second, we show why this interpretation is superior to other interpretations
discussed in the literature; third, we clarify common misconceptions.
