I repeatedly have disgusting and disturbing dreams which often involve me commiting heinous crimes such as rape or murder.
I can't tell you how horrified and revolted I feel when I wake up.
How do I stop these?

Maybe it's your diet. Do you eat heavy meals right before you go sleep? Like spaghetti with a lot of tomato sauce? Just things that would make your stomach go on a heartburn attack(?)

This is totally normal. Eating a large spicy, salty, acidic, or cheesy supper contributes. HR Giger gave himself nightmares by this method to inspire his iconic art!
Even so, all REM phases (your dreaming state) involve highly negative/aversive content. Dr. Domhoff and others have basically proven this is a combined mechanism of memory consolidation and learning that would have been adaptive to pre-verbal organisms. For instance; you see sabre-tooth cat. Fortunately, it doesnt notice you. In your dreams, you prepare repeatedly for situations where it DOES notice you and you have to act.

You could try smoking weed, it inhibits ones ability to dream (more specifically, it inhibits your ability to remember dreams)
