The reinterpretation of quantum mechanical formalism in terms of a classical model with a continuous material "Ψ-field" acting upon a point-like particle which is subjected to large friction and random forces is proposed. This model gives a mechanism for sudden "quantum jumps" and provides a simple explanation of "Schrödinger Cat" phenomena.
