Normaly , any scale should have like five patterns (or more if you like to join more than one pattern) .
Actualy these patterns really help , but you should look for some theory first before going to memorize patterns , same with chords and arpeggios ... It makes a difference.

Check out the "Fret board Logic" books by Bill Edwards, they covert this topic in great detail and they are easy to understand.

Dont think at all - just listen and play

Azrael just gave the best advice ever
not analyzing/thinking is a crucial part in playing(and my life in general..lol!)
just play
