The paper addresses the debate about the empirical status of particles versuswave functions in Bohmian quantum mechanics. It thereby clarifies questions andmisconceptions about the role of the particles in the measurement process, the(un)reliability of position measurements ("surrealistic trajectories"), and thelimited empirical access to particle positions ("absolute uncertainty"). Takingthe ontological commitment of Bohmian mechanics seriously, all relevantempirical results follow from an analysis of the theory in terms of particlemotions. Finally, we address the question, why particle motions rather thanpatterns in the wave function would be the supervenience base of consciousexperience.
